The provinces of the Kingdom of Arlandica are the primary administrative units of Arlandica. Each province is further divided into territories, and is governed by a governor-representative.
The term "Overseas Arlandica" refers to all territories detached from the contiguous Mainland Arlandica, comprising enclaves, exclaves, and small islands. These territories form distinct provinces, contrasting with Mainland Arlandica, which acts as a single unified province.

Subdivisions
Arlandica is divided into 5 provinces, each of which is further subdivided into Territories. Currently, there are a total of 35 territories spread across the kingdom, with the province of Lémarita having the largest number of territories.
Among these territories, there is a diverse range of landscapes and characteristics. Some territories remain uninhabited, preserving their natural beauty as nature reserves, while others host small to medium-sized settlements, functioning as villages. Some of them are designated with the term "city" in their official names.

Governance
The governance of each province is entrusted to a member of Parliament, who is also known as the Governor-Representative. These individuals assume a dual role, functioning not only as legislators in the Parliament but also as the administrative heads of their respective provinces.
Their duties extend to overseeing the successful implementation of governmental policies and programs within the boundaries of their provinces, ensuring that the welfare and interests of the local population are safeguarded and promoted. They are required to submit reports on the progress of their province, development initiatives undertaken, and challenges faced, to both the Parliament and the Monarch for review and assessment.
Areas of Control
It is evident that Arlandica exercises control and presence over all of its provinces, even parts thereof. In Arlandican law, Areas of Control are classified into three: Area A, Area B, and Area C, to define the extent of governmental authority. Area A encompasses territories where both civil and security control rest with the Arlandican government (lands owned legally, subject to Philippine law), while Area B involves shared civil control and full security control by Philippine macronational authorities. Area C falls under complete Philippine macronational authority, requiring permits for Arlandican activities.
Approximately 70% to 80% of Arlandican territories are classified under Area C, while Area B and Area A only encompass small portions of land, such as private residences. Rio Santiago City and the Royal Residence in Santo Niño City are among the largest territories under Area A.
Notes
- ↑ Veracruz was a province comprising the modern-day territories of Veracruz City and Lakan; however, it was dissolved. As a result, Veracruz City became part of Nueva Bago, while Lakan became part of Galrea.
